George Conway has the right advice. Vote for Joe, not the psycho
"He [Biden] has to be empathetic, he's got to be himself," he began. "He, I think at the end of the day, he doesn't have to do a hard sell. He does have to get out there, he just has to be normal."
He then elaborated on this and contended that "Trump won in 2016 because Hillary [Clinton] was the issue. In 2020, Trump was the issue. 2024, Trump will lose again because he will make himself the issue; he cannot help but make himself the issue."
"What Biden needs to do is just basically say, 'That guy is crazy,'" he added. "He doesn't have to refer to him by name, he just has to say, 'The guy is nuts, let's be normal, America.' That's the theme of this campaign, I think."
He’s a decompensating narcissistic sociopath. When you understand that, his and his campaign’s struggles make perfect sense.
Eric Holder, President Barack Obama’s former attorney general, stated it plainly and clearly: “There is no cavalry coming. No miracle solution. No saviors. In the end, we, the American people - not any of our institutions - have to save our democracy by voting in defense of that democracy this fall. We are the cavalry. The responsibility is ours.”
All of which suggests: It’s time to enlist every voter in the fight.
By that, I mean: Voters themselves have to step up—in record numbers. Because the only way to beat Trump and diminish his political power is not in the jury box but at the ballot box. And I’d like to propose a three-point plan of action.
First, each voter has to become a kind of lightning rod in his or her circle of friends, family, and community—reinforcing the significance of voting itself.
Volunteer in your precinct. Become a poll worker—and encourage your friends to sign on as well. Seek out ways to assist those who might otherwise have challenges getting to their polling stations. Travel to swing states to help with “get out the vote” campaigns. Canvass for candidates you believe in. Transform mere citizenry into democratic action….
Second, spread the gospel of democracy on social media. American democracy, as Sanders pointed out, is an experiment. And each voter who has an active online presence needs to understand and convey to others the reality that if Trump is elected, democracy won’t be the only experiment at risk.
Third, and finally, choose one of these at-risk aspects of democracy—one facet that is near and dear to you—and take it with you into the polling booth. It could be reproductive freedom. It could be respect for education. It could be the effort to close the gap on income inequality. But take that one flag and hoist it high. Cherish it. Vote for it.
